2 DEPARTMENT T GENERAL AND CONSUMER SCIENCE 4-H PROJECT RULES 1. Eligibility: Exhibitors in the divisions of this department must be bona fide members of Colorado 4-H whose projects work (must be 4-H members own work and sources must be sited, plagiarism will not be tolerated) and records are certified and up-to-date and deemed eligible by the appropriate Extension agent. In addition, exhibitors must be at least eight years of age, must not have reached their 19 th birthday as of December 31 of the current enrollment year and must satisfy other eligibility requirements (if specified) for a class, to compete in that class H members may enter only once in the same class. 3. Members must be enrolled in the project (which may be broken down into units, levels or categories) in which they exhibit. 4. Only one exhibit in each class will be accepted from each county. 5. If a member enrolls in two units of the same project (Leathercraft for example: member enrolls in Unit 2 and Unit 3 they must exhibit is the higher level Unit 3). When a member takes two units at the same time, they should master the skills of the lower unit and therefore exhibit in the higher unit H e-records may be completed by pencil, ink or computer. The choice will not affect judging. 7. Display boards must meet the specifications. The standardized display board size of 4ft. x 3ft. is to be used for 4-H projects. 8. Projects are divided by Juniors, Intermediates and Seniors age groups. The age for Juniors is 8-10, Intermediates is and Seniors is Exhibit entries will be done online. The Extension agent is to enter each exhibit online with a description. 10. Entry labels: Each exhibit and sturdy binder/notebook (containing e-record and other materials) is to have a label containing the following: county name, exhibitor name, age, department, division, and class. The label needs to be on the upper right-hand front outside of the binder/notebook (outside) and on the exhibit (usually the back of the exhibit or on the flap). Be sure to read special instructions on tags for some exhibits, example: leathercraft, clothing, heritage arts, etc. All exhibits must be accompanied by a completed label. For security reasons, do not list the member address on projects. 11. Exhibits are to be entered into the online entries by 5 pm on Monday, August 14. Exhibits are due to state fair on Wednesday, August 16 between 8:00 am and 12noon. Exhibits will be taken down on Tuesday, September 5. We are asking all counties to come and help take down exhibits and then you can pick up your exhibits. Take down will start at 8:00 am and continue until finished. The 4-H building will be closed and locked at 12 noon. Exhibits left after 12 noon will be the responsibility of the county. 12. All Champion, Reserve Champion and placing award exhibits must be displayed and remain on display for the duration of the state fair. 13. Any exhibit released for a special state fair activity during the state fair must be returned for display. 14. The management will not be responsible for loss or damage to exhibits, although it will use all care to ensure their safety. 15. Note: Exhibits of unusual size or shape may not be on public display. Exhibitor cards and ribbons will be displayed in project areas. All other projects will be displayed unless there is a safety, health or space issue. 16. For any type of video exhibit for the state fair this year, we will be asking the 4-H member to upload the video to a secure 4-H website. Instructions will be sent out later to county staff and enrolled active members. State Fair Judging/Ribbon Awards 1. Champion and Reserve Champion ribbons shall be awarded only to exhibits that meet all the exhibit requirements and standards. Third through10 th -place ribbons will be awarded accordingly to standards and requirements. 2. Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion exhibitors will be declared in each project of the 4-H section from designated class champions. In the Junior, Intermediate and Senior divisions, a Grand Champion will be selected from all champions from each age category. The remaining class Champion and Reserve Champion exhibit in the class from which the Grand Champion was chosen will be eligible for Reserve Grand Champion consideration. 3. Those exhibits not meeting requirements and standards will be awarded a state fair qualifier ribbon. 4. Items entered in the wrong classes will not be eligible for a placing ribbon. 5. The American System will be used to rank the 4-H exhibits. This system uses product standards and fulfillment of exhibit requirements to rank exhibits. It also uses the idea of competition among exhibitors to establish ranking. 2

3 Display Board Guidelines for State Fair 4-H Exhibits Display boards are a great way to share information, but when viewers walk by, they spend only seconds looking at each display board. Make yours stand out by highlighting the main points of your project in a fun, interesting way. Follow these guidelines to create a display board for the state fair. SHAPE Design your exhibit so information fits on the display. Remember, you have 1 large surface, and 2 smaller side wings. SPACE Your display should only discuss one main topic. This will help it look neat and uncrowded. ATTACHMENTS When attaching pictures or objects to your board make sure they are secure. Use glue for pictures and paper, and consider wires, zip ties or staples to attach bulkier items. Do not attach items that are so heavy that your board can t stand or fold. TEXT Make sure that all the text on your display is easy to read. Use a large font for the title, and smaller fonts for the headings and body text. Text must be readable from 3-5 feet away. Use large bold letters. Dark letters on a light background works best. SIZE Display boards for the state fair must measure 4 ft. wide x 3 ft. tall. They should be made of lightweight cardboard, but not poster board. Pre-cut boards are available at most craft and shopping centers. No part of your display may extend beyond these boundaries. DISPLAY BOOKS Your e-record book should accompany your board. You may use 3-ring binders or other notebooks that will keep the pages securely inside. You may not use slider-type binders. Sample Please place a label with the following information in the upper right-hand corner of the front cover: County, Name, Project Area, and Class (See example) Adams County 010 Jane Doe 15 Animal Science Vet Science Class 009 3
